  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Kidder's Son EP. 2017 Loud Folk Record's five track CD EP

    The first U.S. release by Northern Irish native, Leslie Rich and his band, The Rocket Soul Choir.

    in 2015, Leslie re-formed the Rocket Soul Choir with long time friend, Jason Wahl (The Skullcranes, Sawbones) and Minneapolis stalwart, Pete Boulger (Grande Machine, Dander, Church Of Cash).

    The Kidder’s Son EP was pulled together from an expanding catalogue of Leslie’s songs since leaving the Celtic band, Hounds Of Finn in 2014. Returning to Leslie’s rock and roll roots, the tracks revolve around fearlessness (Blindly Moving Anyway), not being fooled twice (Kidder’s Son), day-old love (Long Line Of Fools), spirituality (Kind Of A Love Song) and rejection (Qualified). It’s a hopeful and forceful record.

    Broken apart, production is spacious, but all the more potent for it.

about

I have a very strong faith and so instead of a blatant love song, this is just kind of a love song. Again, it's about trust, about not always needing to know the full plan and just reaching out anyway. It also says that it hasn't always been easy for me either - there have been plenty of dark places, but there's a trust that it's all going to get better.

lyrics

I don't know where we're going
But I know that we're going
I keep good company, so you keep good company
If it doesn't leave a mark
Well, it should leave a mark
Because scars are the way, we share everything we say

This is not a love song, but it's kind of a love song
No need to wait to see if everything turns out right
This is not a love song, but it's kind of a love song
It's kind of a love song

If you leave this to me
Then I promise to try
And if and when that I fall over and die
You can put the price
Upon my head
Where I can rarely see, 'cos it's for them and not for me

This is not a love song, but it's kind of a love song
No need to wait to see if everything turns out right
This is not a love song, but it's kind of a love song
It's kind of a love song

You treat me like a friend
And I'll treat you like a friend
Some of the time it's easy, sometimes not so easy
You'll always be there, not to touch, but you'll be there
'Cos life is insane and you'll always be the same

This is not a love song, but it's kind of a love song
No need to wait to see if everything turns out right
This is not a love song, but it's kind of a love song
It's kind of a love song
